      Yep.
      Time for them to look beyond former champions of there own team.
      Has worked out well for them. Probably would have been better to stick with Harvey.

        Yeah not surprised about this. He couldn't continue the way things were going. It really is a concern how bad football is in QLD. We are so fortunate to have had continued success since 1996 and to be part of such a well run club.

          I think you mean "Hasn't"?

          Hasn't worked for any team at least in the past 20 years or so. Voss, Hird and Buckley are not in the calibre of Longmire, who was patient enough to serve his apprenticeship and learn before moving into head coach.
          Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

            Leppa gone ... who do they target?

            Just saw on the news the odds for Brisbane's next coach.

            Candidates included Stewie Dew, Roosey & ...Warwick Capper is paying $41?? LoL ????

              Stewie will be the red hot favourite I would have thought, although I wouldn't mind a sneaky bet on sando or rats

                From memory, Rats was favourite

                  Personally speaking, what Rhyce Shaw has done to the NEAFL has been amazing, not just because of their success, but how NEAFL players have move up to the seniors and adjust to the
                  tempo so well (Apart from Hiscox). But maybe we will keep that one a secret.

                    I don't think we need to worry about losing Rhyce. I'm sure he would understand that being head coach of an AFL team requires a great deal more than football knowledge. It's good for him to have a master of the art to learn from for a few seasons more.

                    Stewy D seems to me a different proposition. I think he is probably the senior assistant coach in terms of years with the Swans, and I suspect that if he is to continue here there will need to be a move like the one Roos set up with Horse after he missed out on getting St Kilda. But if he does get the gig at Brisbane I'd be pleased for him and hope he can restore their fortunes - though not to the point where they beat us!
                    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                          After booting Voss then replacing him with the inexperienced Leppa they shouldn't get another first time senior coach. Probably someone like Brett Ratten

                            My intel was that it's Ratten they're after but he is unlikely to want to work with Greg Swann. Hopefully they sort it out as I'd rather they diluted the Hawthorn coaching talent than ours!

                              I think Bomber Thompson would be an interesting and good person for the job but I don't think he would be interested in it
